World Donald Trump International Affairs Russia has compared the ongoing crisis in Venezuela to the political situation in the United States following the 2016 election of President Donald Trump, who was opposed by at least half the population. Addressing a press conference Thursday, Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova condemned what she described as "the White House's plan to implement a coup d'état in Venezuela," where the Trump administration has endorsed opposition leader and National Assembly head Juan Guaidó's challenge to President Nicolás Maduro. As Washington steps up pressure on Maduro through sanctions and leaves the door open for "all options," Moscow drew a parallel between events in Venezuela and the U.S.'s own recent political experience. "When American officials talk about the basis of their decision to intervene in the affairs of Venezuela, they tend to say that they want to return democracy to this state, a … [Read more...] about Russia Compares U.S. to Venezuela, Says A Lot of People Didn’t Want Donald Trump As President Either

GEORGE HW's funeral won’t feature any criticism of Donald Trump after the president "cut a deal with the Bush family" to ensure he wouldn’t be targeted. The US President was disinvited to John McCain's funeral earlier this year but funeral planners are seeking to avoid the similar type of anti-Trump sentiment that took place. Trump has a fractured relationship with the Bush family after he slammed George W. Bush for both the Iraq War and 9/11 and labelled Jeb Bush "low-energy". But, since the passing of George HW Bush, Trump has been praised for his glowing remarks about the late former president. According to The Washington Post, The Bush family were keen to ensure a truce which would honour the nation's 41st President without focusing on current political culture. As the current President, Trump also has the final say over important funeral details including providing Air Force One to carry the former president’s remains. Trump is not expected to … [Read more...] about George HW’s funeral won’t feature any criticism of Donald Trump ‘after president cut deal with Bush family to ensure he wouldn’t be targeted’

World International Affairs When asked about a comparison between President Donald Trump and Brazil's President-elect Jair Bolsonaro, White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders told reporters Monday: “There is only one Donald Trump in my opinion.” But Bolsonaro earned the moniker “Trump of the Tropics” for a reason. His misogynistic rhetoric, as well as his views on mainstream media, immigration and pro-gun rights, mirror that of the White House occupant. He also tapped into the anger of Brazilians weary of rampant corruption, economic stagnation and violence, which in turn catapulted his political aspirations within a short period of time. He has repeatedly blamed the left—once spearheaded by disgraced leaders Luiz Inacio Lula Da Siva and Dilma Rousseff—for the ongoing socioeconomic troubles, and he has earned the support of an evangelical base that helped him win Brasilia's seat of power. And his foreign policy blueprint presents … [Read more...] about Is There Only One Donald Trump? Brazilian President-Elect Jair Bolsonaro’s Foreign Policy Resembles a Trumpian Doctrine

World International Affairs During Tuesday's press conference with President Donald Trump in Washington, Polish President Andrzej Duda floated the idea of opening a permanent U.S. military base in Poland named “Fort Trump.” “I hope that we will build Fort Trump in Poland together, Mr. President,” Duda said to Trump when asked about the Polish security landscape. Trump, nodding his head, did not rule out the proposal. Nevertheless, he noted that Warsaw would have pay if such an installation were to be opened. “Poland would be paying billions of dollars for a base,” Trump said. “When we’re defending immensely wealthy countries they’re just taking advantage of us. It’s time they help with, we can it ‘burden sharing.’ The President offered over $2 billion to do this.” It’s unclear whether the proposal is in the works, but the majority of the joint press conference was spent outlining ways to counter … [Read more...] about Fort Trump: Poland Requests Permanent U.S. Military Base Named After Donald Trump As President Touts Increased Defense Cooperation
